David Hanson pleaded guilty to two Class X felonies and must register as a sex offender for life after secretly recording a child under 13.
- On Thursday, Batavia chiropractor David Hanson pleaded guilty to two Class X felonies for creating and disseminating child sexual abuse material involving minors under age 13.
- Between 2016 and 2025, Hanson secretly recorded nearly 200 patients using cameras disguised as Honeywell room fans during red-light therapy sessions at his now-closed practice.
- More than 64 victims have filed 11 civil lawsuits against Hanson, with survivors speaking publicly about how his actions "horribly violated" their trust and dignity as medical patients.
- Kane County Judge D.J. Tegeler scheduled sentencing for November 10, where Hanson faces up to 60 years in prison and mandatory lifetime sex offender registration.
- Illinois House members passed legislation unanimously allowing families to sue those who illegally record children in private locations, responding to public outcry over such crimes.
